Report (Word type) text wrap options

Hi all:
I am using the Report Generation Toolkit in LabVIEW 8.5 and creating a report in MS Word. I have the report looking good, but it is really more of a starting point for the user, so I want to make their use of the file in MS Word easier by making a change that I have not been able to make. I include some graphs using the "Append Control Image" VI, but they are set to "Inline with Text" style text wrapping (a Layout option in MS Word). I would like them to be "Square" text wrapping. I have not been able to find anything in the RGT or any ActiveX property that even addresses this feature. Does anybody know how to do this in LabVIEW?

Hi BJ,
I've looked through the VIs for Report Generation and I think your best option may be to set up a template for your report. With a template, you can have all of the formatting taken care of beforehand and then simply insert whatever elements you want from LabVIEW. Hope this helps!

All the icons in my Text Wrap window have disappeared. The tab/pallet is still there, but empty. The pop out still lists “Show Options” and “Apply to Master Page Only” are still there, but grayed out. Thanks in advance for any help!!

Yipee.
Should have remembered that one.
Thanks for the help!

Text Wrap options not showing in InDesign CS3

Using InDesign CS3 on a Mac 10.4. I've had this problem for a couple of months now and it's getting past the point of annoying. When I open my text wrap options pallete it's blank even when I expand options. I can see the text wrap icons in my header panel, but I no longer have options to change the right/left/top/bottom margins. Just a general "add wrap" and "remove wrap". Is there any way I can get my pallete back? I've tried defaulting my tools, but still it does not show up. I don't know what to do to get it back.

Did you try resetting preferences? While pressing Shift+Option+Command+Control, start InDesign. Click Yes when asked if you want to delete preference files. If you don't get the message about deleting preferences, you weren't fast enough.

Text Wrap option not showing up

I am trying to text wrap, but the option is not available in
Windows>text wrap.
Am I missing something?

Do you mean warp text?
With the type tool selected look at the tool options bar.
You can also get the same warp options for non text layers under Edit>Transform>Warp.
If you want the text options other than what's in the tool options bar:
Window>Character and Window>Paragraph

Reports and flaky text wrapping

Hi There, we have a 10g pdf report running that does some strange things with text wrapping.
If a person were to enter a big long string of "UUUUUU" or "SSSSSSS" or "TTTTTTTTT" or "RRRRRRRR", they would break differently at the edge of the field. The "S"s break at the edge, which is good, the "R"s and "U"s break a little past the edge, which is not so good, and the "T"s break even farther out of the field.
Is this a known issue with Reports? Any suggestions on how to fix? We're stuck with the client's template, so changing the font isn't an option.
TIA,
J

Instead of drawing boxes around the text fields, try right clicking on the text field and under the border tab choose single for all four sides and then export and see if that works for you. Just a thought.

Text wrap options are greyed out

Hi,
I am trying to create a "drop cap" by selecting a text box and changing the wrap options in the inspector however, the "object placement" options to wrap the text are greyed out and I can not change them, except for the options below, such as "object causes to wrap" check box and the "text fit" boxes.
Is this a glitch? I have restarted both my program and whole computer, as well as tried it in a new document, and it still is coming up greyed out.
HELP, I have a project due and I need to be able to add in drop caps!
Thanks

Hi Architecture Guy
Welcome to the forum.

Text wrap options have disappeared

Dear All,
The options in the Text wrap panel have suddenly disappeared and the "show options" selection is completely greyed out...Text Wrap is completely blank. I'm working with Adobe InDesign CC. Any suggestions? The options were there yesterday, but gone today!

Doesn't sound like it's the right folder. You need to be in your user library, ~/library/ or hard drive/<your user name>/library/. I'm not a Mac user so I can't really guide you through the steps to get there beyond what's in the help tpoic and the tread information in the prefs post. You need to be very careful reading the path information -- there are very similar, but different paths listed for the two files.

Text Wrap Options Don't Appear

Hello,
Weird thing happened to me today. I can't use my text wrap panel. None of the options are appearing. What am I doing wrong? I've restarted the program and restarted my computer. Please help.

Text wrap option not working..

Lately I have not been able to use the Text Wrap function in CS3. I feel like it's worked up until recently, but now when I open the Text Wrap window there are no options listed - it's just a blank gray box. When I click on the dropdown menu on the top right, the only two grayed-out options are "Show Options" and "Apply to Master Page Only".
I tried selecting an object first to create the text wrap, selecting the text box, rearranging the objects, but nothing appears.
Any idea why this might be happening or what I am doing wrong?

Formatting options with text wrap

We are running BPC MS v10 and gave users the ability to enter comments with our input forms this year. I am pulling the comments into a summary report using a local member which works fine. The problem is I want to format these cells and use left alignment with word wrap enabled in order to view the full comment in each cell. When I select any of the cells in the comment column the alignment and text wrap options are both "selected" in the Excel ribbon but it is not wrapping the comments onto the next line. I have to uncheck the wrap text option in the ribbon and reselect before it will actually wrap to the next line.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Hi Jerry
It was a word document that wasa emailed over to me, is there any way I can reformat the document to clear any unseen formatting issues. Trying to avoid retyping the whole document,
Many thanks

Not trivial, but you could Select All, Copy to get the entire imported document onto the Clipboard. Then open a New Pages Word Processing document and then Edit > Paste and Match Style. The new document will match the defaults in the template. If you find that you will be doing this often, make a custom template for this use.

Text wrap not working properly CS4

Despite trying numerous times over last few days, reviewing multiple tutorials to make sure I know what I'm doing, I simply cannot get the text wrap options to work properly. In SOME instances (not all ... why?!?) I can select text wrap, but when I try to make further adjustments (wider margin or switch to object wrap, for instance), it simply does not allow selection. The choices once I'm in the text wrap box are grayed out (margins, contour box, etc) as not available. WHAT is going on?! Do I have defective software? Is it me? I've even reinstalled the whole CS4. <aarrggh> I am SO frustrated!

Things like this are almost always attributable to user error.
If you're new to InDesign I'd suggest investing in Sandee Cohen's Visual Quick Start Guide: http://amzn.to/ggnCUx
More details, screenshots, etc would help us, though.

Problems with Text Wrap

Hello,
I'm new and getting more and more frustrated trying to wrap text around a couple of images in InDesign.
I saved my picture file as, Save for Web & Devices in Photoshop, and in the text wrap options I clicked "wrap around object shape" and under contour options I chose Detect Edges. I don't know what I'm doing wrong and all of my searches for possible errors are coming up short.
Does anyone know what I could be doing wrong?
Thank you so much for your help!

Err, is this related to scripting somehow? You know you are posting in the scripting forum?

Text Wrap disappeared in ID CS5

Using InDesign CS5, recently the text wrap option entirely disappeared from the tools menu, as did any response to using a keyboard combination to make the dialog box appear. Also, reloading the program from the disks fails due to "too many errors." Using Windows 7 pro. Help!

What is preventing you from doing the reinstall?
You should know, though, that it won't replace the prefs unless you specifically choose to do so during the uninstall operation.

How do you adjust the offset of a text wrap?

I'm trying to adjust the offset of the text wrap and the Indesign help I found just says to specify it. But WHERE? I see the text wrap options on my tool bar but there doesn't seem to be a corresponding place to change the offset distances.

I finally found a way. You can go to Window and open the Text Wrap Dialoge Window. It can then be anchored to the side with your other special effects windows and you can make adjustments there.
